Fantastic pizza tour with John. Great history/ stories for each of the restaurants visited and a great selection of different types of pizza. My favorite was the Eaterly Neopolitan and the deep dish from Labriola. Highly recommend.

Lots of pizza and lots of information about pizza. Enjoyed the group but pace yourself. There were lots of leftovers at each place so by the time you get to the last place you’re beyond stuffed!

Excellent tour, very interesting and ALL the pizza was delicious. We saw this as a must when visiting Chicago and did not disappoint. We attended with our 4 year old which was no problem at all and he loved all the pizza on offer.

Not to be missed walking tour. Try 4 different styles of pizza and learn all about the restaurateurs and their process. Jon is a wealth of information and can fill you in on local Chicago history as well as pizza.

The whole experience is a worthy representation of what Chicago is: warm people, good food, great city. Our guide answered all our questions, was open a s attentive, and maintained the good vibes going the whole time. Don’t miss it if you have the time to do it!

What a great pizza walk/tour experience. I thought pizza was pizza, but this tour really changed that view. Our tour guide, HAD SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE of everything pizza. It was amazing to soak up just a little bit of that information. Once you get to each pizza location, there is still plenty of time to eat and drink, and get even more nuggets of pizza knowledge. It wasn't too much walking. Our guide took it at an even pace, and kept track of everyone. It was a great experience that you shouldn't miss if you have the chance.

We signed up for this food tour as we both love pizza and wanted to see the different types they offer. We were greeted by John who was the tour guide at Robert’s Pizza which is where the tour started. There were 16 people on the tour from all over the country which made it interesting. John told us a lot of info about pizza all the places he’s been to learn about dough, cheese, tomatoes and sauce, he’s very knowledgeable and knows ALOT about pizza. The story of how Roberts got started which was super interesting in itself, was a fun way to start the tour not to mention the cup and char pizza at Roberts was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS !!!! We went to 4 different pizza shops I will not say which places as John said he does a couple different tours and places differ. We did taste a Chicago style deep dish, a neopalotin and a Detroit style pizza and they were all so different and all very good, the deep dish was my least favorite but worth a try, the cup and char was my favorite. This is a must do tour you get different views of the city, great information, great food and get to meet people from all over was a blast I highly recommend
